Two songs for Florida

[Ken Burch]

This is by Will McLean, Florida's "black hat troubadour", about the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane

And an African-American Shape Note/Sacred Harp song about the 1926 Miami Hurricane, introduced by the songs composer, Judge J. Jackson. The lyrics of the song are shown in the clip.

(for those who don't know this form of singing, the song begins with the singers singing the "shapes", the names given to the notes in Shape Note/Sacred Harp music, so you need to wait a moment to actually hear the words)
